The president of Sporting, Frederico Varandas, left strong criticism of the refereeing after the controversial Clásico that culminated in a draw between lions and dragons.
“Today Sporting is sad because they lost two points and I think Portuguese football is also sad because they insist on not changing. I have watched the game several times and I only ask one question: this same play, this possible penalty, do you know when? Was it reversed in the Estádio do Dragão or in Luz? Never, never. The referee sees a push in the back, signals a penalty, then the VAR analyzes if there is intensity, if it is inside or outside the area. It is the custom … the VAR must analyze a glaring error. For me it is a penalty, yes. The player takes a back in the air, for me it is a penalty. It was scored, in Alvalade, it was reversed, the VAR called and returned to yellow. I also saw a very clear penalty in Moreira de Cónegos that the same VAR of today did not see.
Frederico Varandas once again stressed that football must be sad. “These are the things that happen in Portuguese football but mainly in Sporting. The VAR itself does not see Zaidu directly red, what is the doubt? And that is why I think Portuguese football should be sad. Unfortunately, in Portugal, To succeed only on merits, it is very difficult. In football even more. It does not matter if the person was caught in wiretaps, if there are trials, it does matter if he has power, if he won and then everyone pays tribute, “he recalled.
